Two pipes of identical diameter and material are connected in parallel. The length of pipe A is five times the length of pipe B. Assuming the flow is fully turbulent in both pipes and thus the friction factor is independent of the Reynolds number and disregarding minor losses, determine the ratio of the flow rates in the two pipes.
To conserve water and energy, a flow reducer is installed on the neck of a shower. If the pressure point at (1) remains constant and all losses are negligible (except that of the flow reducer), determine the value of the flow reducer's loss coefficient if it reduces the flow rate by a factor of 2. Despise gravity.
Two pipes of identical diameter and material are connected in parallel. The length of pipe A is four times the length of pipe B. Assuming the flow is fully turbulent in both pipes and thus the friction factor is independent of the Reynolds number, and disregarding minor losses, determine the ratio of the flow rates in the two pipes.
